TRUE STORY
I was talking with a dear sister from Sudan the other day and she showed me the scars on her throat and arm. When I asked what they were she told me.
"The scar on my throat was from a hot metal poker that the doctor used to burn my throat to make my cough go away when I got the flu. It took three months for the burn to heal. The scars on my arm are from the burns of a hot iron to keep me from getting malaria. All of us were forced to do this in Sudan. It didn't work, but it didn't matter. It made the people feel like they were doing something to fight the disease and it was expected that everyone pretend it was working."
"Wow that's crazy," I said. "Everybody doing something that they know doesn't work, but makes them feel better about doing it anyway."
"Like wearing a mask?" she replied.
WOW! Puts it all into perspective. She deflated my western pride. In some ways we haven't advanced so much.
My Sudanese friend is a medical doctor and now lives in America.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 please pray for Mexico: in june 6 Gods will. We will have elections. We have a very bloodie time. More than 80 candidates was killed and others are under warning. Could be the begining of the comunist sistem and we are losing fredoom very fast.
Saturday will be a day of death that haunts the soul of thousands of young women who have scheduled abortions today. Saturday is Planned Parenthood’s kill-day.
Pray for mothers and fathers and babies. Pray for Doctors,
Grandparents, and Boyfriends. Pray for every person connected to an abortion. Pray for change, repentance, and healing. Speak LIFE. Lord, Jesus, have mercy.
“You know how it is with pagan rulers,” He said, “They Lord it over their subjects. They get all high and mighty and let everyone know it. But that is not how it’s to be with you. If anyone wants to be great, he must be your servant.”
Matthew 20:25-26
The United States Government was built around this idea. If the government is by the people and for the people, they will serve the people and the nation will be great. But as it is, our supposedly “elected” leaders have slipped into paganism. In fact, much of America has slipped into paganism as they “Lord over us,” instead of serving us. A Christian revival is the only way back to freedom and good government.
That revival begins with us giving up paganism and becoming servants in our families and communities.
Thank you again for all the prayers for our daughter. Today we received a VERY encouraging report. She's not yet completely well, but the doctor was so happy with the improvement in her condition and is confident that she'll continue to full recovery. I'm so grateful to God for His healing touch and to all who joined in bringing this need to our Heavenly Father.
Why I am homeless in 2021 and how you can be too!

Blessings upon blessings. My Mom's birthday today. When I was a very little girl I'd sit up on the counter watching her make cookies and listen to stories about the love of Jesus.
This sweet servant can't remember a day in her life not loving & living for the Lord.
She always has been & forever will be my best friend. Happy 91st birthday, Mom.
I can't get enough of the Lord. I look at the night sky and think, " We're one day closer to the Lord's return."
